We absolutely LOVE this cake, I've made it many times for family and friends. Though I've made it with the glaze, we prefer the cake with a dollop of lite Cool-Whip.

I actually found this recipe in an OLD magazine issue I picked up at a thrift store. I had photocopied the recipe and passed on the mag, so I don't know which one. However, I really wish I would have googled it FIRST because the web version here is different than the print version. I should have known better when the print version said to beat the whites to soft peaks. :( My cake rose and then buckled in a weird way. It still tastes delicious, it's just an ugly duckling. LOL I will make it again only using THESE directions :)

I loved making this cake. I dropped the orange ingredients and substituted vanilla extract with a chocolate buttercream frosting. Better suited to my family's taste. Perfect!
